Discharge

Patient

Q: I am 16 and i ended my period on the 23rd of january it is now February 6th so about a week later. I take birth control but i just missed a couple days. During those couple days i did have unprotected sex. On February 4th i started having a very heavy flow of dark brown discharge. It's not just spotting. I have to wear a tampon because it's so much. What could this be?
